WALSALL Synchronised Swimming Club is competing in the British Synchronised Swimming Championships in Gloucester this weekend – with six swimmers pitting their talents against the best in the country.

They will compete in the Team Combination event and Eleanor Holder will be one of only 15 swimmers in the country to compete in the Solo event, for which she had to pre-qualify.

It is the first time the club has entered a team in this competition for several years. It has been four years since the club has had a competitor in the solo event.

Head coach Amy Baker said: “The swimmers have really worked hard to polish their performances ahead of this weekend, and are looking forward to the event and to competing alongside the best in this country ahead of the Olympic Test event at the Olympic Park in April.”

The swimmers are also working hard on their 40th anniversary Olympic-themed show, at Walsall Gala Baths from April 26 to 28.
